The tax laws of the country I live in are more than enough for me to willingly deal with, so I won't claim any expertise in the laws of other countries, but are the people making these suggestions cognizant of the various laws and regulations that tend to surround "deductible business expense" or whatever the nearest local equivalent is? Do you *really* think a "pick your own price" item is actually fully deductible in the eyes of a random local tax authority? Really? Enough to stake your own fortune and business on? Do you know the laws of other countries enough that your conscience lets you make that recommendation to people living elsewhere? If so, wow, what are you doing hanging out on this list instead of making big bucks in finance? If you want to make a contribution and having it be tax deductible is a significant concern or would result in an increase in the size of the donation, then contact the OpenBSD Foundation (and review your relevant tax laws and regulations). The Foundation exists, in part, so that these issues and concerns don't become an undue burden on people. Philip Guenther
